Abstract

A mixing machine (10) includes a mixer body, a head extending from the mixer body and including a rotatable output member for receiving a mixer tool and a bowl support (20) mounted to the mixer body and positioned below the head. A slideway system (20) is configured to enable vertical movement of the bowl support (20) along the mixer body between a lowered position away from the head and a raised position toward the head. The slideway system (20) includes a first metal surface (66), a second metal surface (64) opposed to and facing the first metal surface (66), wherein a relative sliding movement between the first metal surface (66) and the second metal surface (64) occurs during vertical movement of the bowl support (20), and an ultra-high-molecular-weight plastic insert (68) disposed between the first metal surface (66) and the second metal surface (64) to limit friction during the relative sliding movement.

Claims (20)

Claims
1. A mixing machine, comprising: a mixer body; a head extending from the mixer body and including a rotatable output member for receiving a mixer tool; a bowl support mounted to the mixer body and positioned below the head; a slideway system configured to enable vertical movement of the bowl support along the mixer body between a lowered position away from the head and a raised position toward the head, wherein the slideway system includes: a first metal surface, a second metal surface opposed to and facing the first metal surface, wherein a relative sliding movement between the first metal surface and the second metal surface occurs during vertical movement of the bowl support, and an ultra-high-molecular-weight plastic insert disposed between the first metal surface and the second metal surface to limit friction during the relative sliding movement.
2. The mixing machine of claim 1, wherein the first metal surface is formed by part of the bowl support and the second metal surface is formed by part of the mixer body, and the ultra-high-molecular-weight plastic insert is mounted to the first metal surface and moves with the bowl support.
3. The mixing machine of claim 2, wherein a vertical length of the first metal surface is substantially less than a vertical length of the second metal surface.
4. The mixing machine of claim 1, wherein the ultra-high-molecular-weight plastic insert is mounted to the first metal surface.
5. The mixing machine of claim 4, wherein the ultra-high-molecular- weight plastic insert is carried on a metal bracket that is mounted adjacent the first metal surface, such that the metal bracket is between the first metal surface and the ultra-high-molecular- weight plastic insert.
6. The mixing machine of claim 5, wherein the ultra-high-molecular-weight plastic insert comprises a substantially planar plastic strip that is adhered to the metal bracket.
7. The mixing machine of claim 5, wherein the metal bracket includes an upper mount flange and a lower mount flange, a first retainer engaged with the upper mount flange and a second retainer engaged with the lower mount flange to secure the metal bracket adjacent the first metal surface.
8. The mixing machine of claim 7, wherein the first retainer is one of a fastener or a pin and the second retainer is one of a fastener or a pin, wherein the upper mount flange includes an opening or slot in which the first retainer is positioned, the lower mount flange includes an opening or slot in which the second retainer is positioned.
9. The mixing machine of claim 1 wherein the first metal surface is substantially planar, the second metal surface is substantially planar and the ultra-high-molecular-weight plastic insert is substantially planar.
10. A mixing machine, comprising: a mixer body; a head extending from the mixer body and including a rotatable output member for receiving a mixer tool; a bowl support mounted to the mixer body and located below the head; a slideway system configured to enable vertical movement of the bowl support along the mixer body between a lowered position away from the head and a raised position toward the head, wherein the slideway system includes a groove on one of the bowl support or the mixer body and a mating projection on the other of the bowl support or the mixer body, the mating projection disposed within the groove, wherein the groove defines a first surface and the mating projection defines a second surface, wherein the second surface faces the first surface, and a first plastic insert disposed between the first surface and the second surface.
11. The mixing machine of claim 10 wherein the groove further defines a third surface and the mating projection further defines a fourth surface, the third surface facing the fourth surface, and a second plastic insert disposed between the third surface and the fourth surface.
12. The mixing machine of claim 11 wherein the groove is configured as a substantially V-shaped slot and the mating projection has a corresponding V-shape.
13. The mixing machine of claim 11 wherein each of the first surface, the second surface, the third surface and the fourth surface is substantially planar, and each of the first plastic insert and the second plastic insert is substantially planar.
14. The mixing machine of claim 11 wherein the first plastic insert is carried on a first bracket that is mounted adjacent one of the first surface or the second surface, wherein the second plastic insert is carried on a second bracket that is mounted adjacent to one of the third surface or the fourth surface.
15. The mixing machine of claim 10 wherein the first plastic insert is an ultra-high- molecular-weight plastic.
16. A mixing machine, comprising: a mixer body; a head extending from the mixer body and including a rotatable output member for receiving a mixer tool; a bowl support mounted to the mixer body below the head; a slideway system configured to enable movement of the bowl support along the mixer body, wherein the slideway system includes opposed first and second surfaces that contact each other and slide relative to one another during movement of the bowl support, wherein the first surface is formed by a surface of an ultra-high-molecular-weight plastic part, and the second surface is formed by a surface of a metal part.
17. The mixing machine of claim 16 wherein the first surface moves with the bowl support and the second surface is a stationary surface on the mixer body.
18. The mixing machine of claim 16 wherein the ultra-high-molecular-weight plastic part is a plastic strip having a thickness of no more than 0.100 inches.
19. The mixing machine of claim 18 wherein the plastic strip is carried on a bracket body having a thickness of no more than 0.090 inches.
20. The mixing machine of claim 16 wherein the ultra-high-molecular-weight plastic part is a plastic strip carried by a bracket that is mounted on the bowl support.
